Definitions

  • the invention relates to a valve suspension according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • flap suspensions are from DE-OS 19 03 244 or known from GB-PS 717 902. Thereby enables Adjustment of the screw an adjustment of the distance between Flap and holder, the holder always about cup-like is designed with a U-shaped cross section.
  • a pendulum or pivotally designed holder of the Flap on the holder should compensate for inaccuracies and also when the holder is at an angle to the tone hole, a reliable one Allow sealing of the tone hole edge.
  • the delayed closing of the tone hole causes the musician automatically works with a higher finger pressure, in order to close the To achieve tone hole. This also increases the possibility unwanted cramps.
  • the invention has for its object a generic Flap suspension to improve that Align the flap with the tone hole as precisely as possible the simplest possible means and undesirable Avoid noise when closing the flap if possible become.
  • the invention proposes two measures before, namely firstly a simplified flap setting in favor their optimal support on the tone hole edge and secondly, an acoustic decoupling of the flap from the holder and other components.
  • the pendulum mobility is made possible by the fact that Screw that fixes the flap to the holder on the spherical segment Surface of the holder can be moved with the flap around its center in any direction can be tilted. Because in the manufacture of musical instruments the length of the holder, i.e. its distance from the hinge point and the distance of the hinge point from the tone hole, always reliably and easily determined in practice and is implemented in the attachment of the flap suspension, is usually just a tilting adjustment of the Flap required to be reliable and all around at the same time To ensure sealing of the tone hole edge.
  • the intermediate piece between the flap and the screw may be provided. Resonances of the flap and Flap noises when striking the tone hole edge can be avoided effectively because only the comparatively low flap weight can be damped got to.
  • the holder is provided with a plate in the form of a counter plate, which adapted to the spherical segment-like course of the holder is, so that always a large area and safe management the flap around the imaginary center of the ball ensures is.
  • this counter plate can be formed in a simple manner by the surface of the nut cooperating with the screw facing the holder.
  • the surface of the counter plate and the underside of the holder can advantageously be designed to be friction-free, e.g. B. by suitable material pairings, surface roughness or by a high-friction coating of one or both surfaces.
  • the outside of the Holder support plate by the screw head be designed so that a very small number of Components becomes possible and thereby noise or adjustment inaccuracies can be avoided.
  • a particularly large adjustment range for the flap is made possible if the hole is at least twice the diameter has like the screw or part of the screw, which extends through this hole in the holder.
  • a space and weight saving arrangement of the key surface or the stop is possible directly on the screw head, the screw being actuated accordingly Circumferential surface, e.g. knurled for tool-free screwing, or with a hexagon contour or similar tool surfaces.
  • buttons surface or the stop is eccentric next to the screw head should be arranged, they can be advantageous attached to the separate disk forming the support plate his. So the screw can be loosened or tightened, without the position of the button surface or the stop to change.
  • the Holder can be extended to accommodate the button surface. Furthermore, such an extended holder can be used in practice train known attacks against buffers made of felt or other damping materials such as Apply foams can and either limit the height for the opening movement of the flap are provided or as Driver if several flaps by a single key should be operated simultaneously and via a corresponding Linkage rods are interconnected.
  • Fig. 1 denotes a holder which is spherical segment-shaped is bent and arranged at the extreme end of a flap arm 2 is. Holder 1 and flap arm 2 are used for actuation a flap 3, with which a tone hole, not shown Wind instrument can be closed or opened.
  • the holder 1 has a bore 4 through which a Screw 5 extends, being on the opposite of the screw head
  • a nut 6 is provided on the side of the holder 1, to which a noise-damping, vibration-damping Intermediate piece 6a made of an elastomer, a foam material or the like, and which in turn the Flap 3 is attached, for. B. by gluing.
  • the flap 3 has an annular, circumferential seal 7, the center of which is marked with 7a.
  • a simple adjustment of the flap 3 to the assigned Tone hole of the wind instrument can be made by the screw 5 is loosened, the flap 3 is closed, being automatically aligns itself correctly. Then the Screw 5 are tightened so that the flap 3 is optimal is aligned to the tone hole and when closing simultaneous concern around the seal 7 on the tone hole edge ensures.
  • Such an adjustment of the flap 3 can be done easily be performed by laypeople and, when playing the Unwanted sound discoloration occurs in instrumentes can be made in the shortest possible time with minimal effort.
  • Fig. 2 shows a second embodiment in which the Screw head of the screw 5 carries a key surface 8. at the illustrated embodiment, this is eccentric Screw head attached, assuming that once the optimal position of the button surface 8 has been set the screw head when loosening and later tightening the Screw 5 is always in the original starting position.
  • a central fastening of the button surface in the screw head 8 to allow z. B. through a fine threaded bore, in the button surface 8 with a correspondingly molded fine screw can be screwed in.
  • the screw can alternatively be provided on the outside to operate on its circumferential contour, e.g. through those provided there Tool surfaces, with the button surface firmly on the Screw head can be provided.
  • Fig. 3 shows a further embodiment in which the holder 1 extended on its side facing away from the flap arm 2 is to attach either a button surface 8 to enable or a stop that the movement of a Flap or a flap arm limited.
